The Challenge of Patch Management/b/rhalbheer/archive/2013/02/01/the-challenge-of-patch-management.aspxDepending on where I travel and with which customers I talk, patch management is still the number 1 issue coming up. Not only is the challenge to deploy the updates – much worse, there is still an awareness issue in a lot of markets.
